Orcutt Shelley Millers first music with vocals. Includes fold-out mini-poster portrait of Captain Beefheart by album artist Khagan Aslanov.{LF}Orcutt Shelley Miller and legendary front man David Yow of The Jesus Lizard join forces for a feral rendition of Captain Beefhearts Hot Head b/w Neil Youngs A Man Needs A Maid.Orcutt Shelley Miller follow their critically acclaimed self-titled 2025 debut album with a 7-inch EP that presents an unexpected pair of covers and a perfectly tailored guest vocalist appearance by David Yow for Beefhearts Hot Head.Ethan Miller known for his singing in bands like Howlin Rain and Comets On Fire handles the intimate and glass-fragile vocal duties on OSMs cinematic rendition of Neil Youngs A Man Needs A Maid.On how Hot Head came about OSM bassist Ethan Miller says David is one of the great through-lines helping to carry the spirit of Beefhearts musical legacy into and beyond alternative music of the 90s and 2000s. In my estimation that explosive blending of sonic complexity and visceral primitive expression is really at the heart of David and The Jesus Lizards power as it is also at the heart of Orcutt Shelley Miller. Beefheart hand-carved the model for that musical dynamic in marble.On the subject of Beefheart David Yow says I am extremely grateful for Don Van Vliet and the stuff he made both the things you look at and the things you listen to but no more so than OSM. That may or may not be the truth.1. Hot Head2. A Man Needs A Maid
